    The Fry Roll is possibly the best roll this place serves. Salmon cooked to perfection!

    This is one of the pricier AYCE sushi places I enjoy. But the quality of the fish and the cook of the meat is perfect. It's tiny, had a patio (why??) and the service is okay. Not the best but also not the worst. But the sushi is delicious!! Certain items can only be ordered on the weekend. One such item is the salmon rose. Now I like my salmon rose, but this place serves up large portions of it. Quite a mouthful (and I'm not the most graceful diner either!). Some of the special rolls are interesting, but hands down the best one, the one you come back for, is the Fry Roll. Just perfection! Btw, if you want the deep fried ice cream dessert, it only comes in Mango ice cream flavour. Annnnnd, the ladies toilet seat completely detaches from the bowl so be careful!! There's certainly places with better price points, and I'm sure the same quality of fish and culinary skill can be found there, but do they have the Fry Roll??! Also, this particular strip of Bayview does have other Japanese options, but from what I recall, California Roll wins without a battle.

    What a cute spot! We came here on a whim for a (very early) lunch - I had a hankering for sushi, and fortunately you're never far from it in Toronto. The restaurant is medium sized and very nicely designed - I love their simplistic decor, it was very clean and open looking. We were greeted by the friendly sushi chef and quickly seated by their server. While I desperately wanted AYCE, which is only $12.99 for lunch and seemed quite extensive - but alas, time was against me so I went with the a la carte menu. I ordered salmon roll, tuna roll, and California roll (aka Makimono Set... I think). The California roll was especially delicious (good thing, since that's their name and all!) and everything was very fresh. The salad and miso that came with the meal were kind of "meh", but I don't expect a lot from those additions in a restaurant like this. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to California Roll, if only I was in the neighbourhood more often. Minus 1 Point: $1 for green tea. Bonus point: patio!

    All you can eat sushi. Not bad, but not worth a special trip. The cost on the website is out dated. The weekday dinner is now $24/person and $26 on Fri and Sat. You need to eat a lot of sushi at those prices. The selection was more than acceptable with a few extra "Fri and Sat" items like pork buns that helped justify the extra cost. Based on the food the deserve a solid 3 stars. Not great but good. When I consider the utilitarian atmosphere, inconsistent service, and relative cost, I think 3 stars is a very generous rating.

    Good all you can eat menu. Fast service. Lots of variety including ramen, teriyaki, udon and curries. Nice patio and very friendly.

    This was one of those dining experiences where every detail felt intentional…read more The presentation was beautiful without feeling overdone, and each piece was balanced and fresh. You can really tell there's a lot of care behind every course. What stood out to me most was how calm and focused the whole experience felt--it made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy each bite. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a little more special.

    It's been a while since I've had omakase. Yasu was easy to reserve and was under $200pp. The menu…read moreincludes 16 courses which includes 1 appetizer (containing 4 dishes), 12 nigiri, tamago, soup, and dessert. There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.
